That thought has been nagging at me ever since I read the original post. 
As an American citizen, I cherish my Second Amendment right to bear arms,
and quite frankly, that's one reason I would hesitate to move to Canada. 
That said, Canada is NOT a part of the USA, and our rights as Americans do
NOT extend to the other side of the border!  When one goes as a guest, one
should have the courtesy to mind the rules of the host country.  The
thought that stuck in my mind when I read the original post was that it is
little wonder that we are so often labeled as "Ugly Americans."
